Forget everything you've seen on television and in the movies.

Pennsylvania. I haven’t been here since I was about three, maybe four. I visited Sesame Place here with my parents years ago. I still remember being chosen from the audience to play the washboard in some musical performance and sliding down the shovel-and-pail-shaped slide.

Bridget and I spent most of today shopping for all of the things that I keep remembering. It seems like neither of us can stop shopping, and I’m beginning to worry about the weight of my suitcase.
